Verify the Prerequisite Version Selection Option

  1. The Prerequisites Version Selection dialog box displays listing the required versions of the installed prerequisites only when the tag <AutoResolvePrerequisiteConflict> in the selected GMSPlatform.XML is configured as False.
    NOTE 1: By default, it is recommended to install the prerequisite Microsoft SQL Server 2019 - Express Edition. If you want to use another SQL server, you can skip it. However, the three prerequisites, Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - Native Client, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - System CLR Types, and Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - Management Objects are installed on the server in this given order. Installing these prerequisites, helps create an HDB remote server using SMC, when no SQL exists on the server.
    NOTE 2: If the compatible higher version of SQL is already installed on your computer, by default, the Installer skips (the Install check box is not selected) the installation of the lower version of SQL.
    NOTE 3: During the Client/FEP installation, the Prerequisite Version Selection dialog box only displays when there is any conflict with the installed prerequisites in the system. It lists the required versions of the installed prerequisites and recommends installing the required version, if the installed version is not compatible.
    NOTE 4: You can also use the modified GMS Platform.xml file, where the SkipInstallation section is enabled to skip the installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2019 - Express Edition. Even if you skip, the three prerequisites, Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - Native Client, Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - System CLR Types, and Microsoft SQL Server 2016 - Management Objects are installed on the server in this given order.
